Kieran Culkin got his wish!
More than a year after asking his wife, Jazz Charton, for more kids onstage as he won a 2024 Emmy Award, the couple revealed that they are expecting their third baby. They stepped out to the opening night of the Broadway show Waiting for Godot in New York City on Sunday, Sept. 28, with Charton’s bump on display.
The 42-year-old actor smiled and posed proudly with his pregnant wife as he rested his hand on her belly.
Culkin — who already shares daughter Kinsey Sioux, 6, and son Wilder Wolf, 4, with Charton, 37 — also reminded his wife of her promise to expand their family in March 2025, when he won his first-ever Academy Award for his performance in A Real Pain.
“[Jazz] said, ‘I will give you four [children] when you win an Oscar,’ ” Culkin told the audience from onstage at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

“No pressure. I love you. I’m really sorry I did this again,” he added, directly addressing his wife, who smiled and laughed from her seat. “And let’s get cracking on those kids. What do you say?”
Culkin famously asked his wife for more kids while accepting the award for outstanding lead actor in a drama series for his role in Succession at the Emmys in January 2024.
After he was announced as the winner, he took the stage where he teared up as he first thanked his own mother “for giving me life and my childhood, which was great. So thank you for that.”
Culkin also expressed gratitude for his “beautiful wife,” Charton, “for sharing your life with me and for giving me two amazing kids.”
“And Jazz, I want more. You said maybe, if I win!” he concluded with a laugh, as Charton laughed and applauded from her seat.

He later told reporters at the same event that he’d been “asking” his wife for more kids “for a while.”
“Jazz said, ‘Maybe if you win the Emmy,’ ” he continued. “I didn’t bring it up for months, and then when I won the Globe, I said, ‘Do you remember what you said?’ And she was like, ‘What? No. What did I say? I don’t remember this.’ ”
“So I told her, and then it all came back to her,” Culkin continued. “So then she spent the whole week being nervous.”
Asked what he would name his child, the actor said he “wouldn’t name it Emmy, or whatever other cute little thing.”
